Psalm - 105

picture

1 O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name; make known his deeds among the peoples.

2 S ing unto him, sing psalms unto him; speak of all his wondrous works.

3 G lory in his holy name; let the heart of those that seek the LORD rejoice.

4 S eek the LORD and his strength; seek his face continually.

5 R emember his marvellous works that he has done, his wonders and the judgments of his mouth,

6 O ye seed of Abraham his slave, ye sons of Jacob his chosen.

7 H e is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth.

8 He has remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded for a thousand generations,

9 w hich covenant he made with Abraham and his oath unto Isaac

10 a nd confirmed the same unto Jacob by decree, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant:

11 S aying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance,

12 w hen they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it.

13 W hen they went from nation to nation from one kingdom to another people,

14 h e suffered no man to do them wrong; yea, he chastened kings for their sakes:

15 S aying, Touch not mine anointed and do my prophets no harm.

16 M oreover he called for a famine upon the land; he broke the whole staff of bread.

17 H e sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a slave,

18 w hose feet they hurt with fetters; his soul was laid in iron.

19 U ntil the time that his word came, the spoken word of the LORD purified him.

20 T he king sent and loosed him, the ruler of the people let him go free.

21 H e made him lord of his house and ruler of all his substance:

22 T o bind his princes at his pleasure and teach his elders wisdom.

23 A fterwards Israel entered into Egypt, and Jacob was a stranger in the land of Ham.

24 A nd he increased his people greatly and made them stronger than their enemies.

25 He turned their heart to hate his people to think evil against his slaves.

26 H e sent Moses his slave and Aaron whom he had chosen.

27 H e put the words of his signs in them and his wonders in the land of Ham.

28 H e sent darkness and made it dark, and they did not rebel against his word.

29 H e turned their waters into blood and slew their fish.

30 T heir land brought forth frogs in abundance in the chambers of their kings.

31 H e spoke, and swarms of flies and lice came within all their borders.

32 H e turned their rain into hail, into flaming fire in their land.

33 H e smote their vines also and their fig trees and broke the trees within their borders.

34 H e spoke, and the locusts came and caterpillars without number,

35 a nd ate up all the grass in their land and devoured the fruit of their ground.

36 H e smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength.

37 A nd he brought them forth with silver and gold, and there was not one sick person among their tribes.

38 E gypt was glad when they departed, for the fear of them fell upon them.

39 H e spread a cloud for a covering and fire to give light in the night.

40 T he people asked, and he brought quails and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.

41 H e opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places and became a river.

42 F or he remembered his holy word with Abraham his slave.

43 A nd he brought forth his people with joy and his chosen with singing

44 a nd gave them the lands of the Gentiles, and they inherited the labour of the nations,

45 t hat they might observe his statutes and keep his laws. Halelu-JAH.
